About this house rental

Welcome to The Ranch by AvantStay—an expansive private estate where California sunshine meets timeless sophistication. Set in Escondido, this retreat offers serenity with easy access to scenic parks, local dining, nearby wineries, San Diego attractions, and world-class beaches.

Inside, soaring windows flood the main living area with natural light and Escondido vistas. Gather with your group around the plush sofas, enjoy a round of pool, foosball, or a few friendly competitions on the arcade games, or host celebratory meals in the elegant dining area. The fully equipped kitchen—complete with stainless steel appliances, a large island with bar seating, and abundant counter space—makes entertaining effortless. A dedicated laundry area with a washer and dryer ensures added convenience during your stay.

This spacious retreat features seven well-appointed bedrooms and five full bathrooms, comfortably sleeping up to 19 guests. Whether you’re hosting a family gathering, a group celebration, or a multi-family vacation, the home offers ample room and privacy for everyone to relax and unwind.

The backyard is a paradise of its own: a sparkling pool framed by lush landscaping, a soothing hot tub, and multiple al fresco dining spaces perfect for long California afternoons. Lounge on the tiered sun decks, fire up the outdoor BBQ grill for a poolside feast, or relax beneath the pergola as soft evening light fills the valley below. As night falls, gather around the glowing fire pit with cocktails in hand, letting the warm breeze and panoramic views set the tone for an unforgettable stay.

Located in Escondido, with a perfect balance of elegance and entertainment, The Ranch is your invitation to savor Southern California living at its most elevated—whether you're seeking a family retreat, a group celebration, or a private escape close to scenic parks, local dining, nearby wineries, San Diego’s cultural gems, and world-class beaches.

Such a beautiful home! Nice and secluded from the urban SoCal area. Family was able to enjoy San Diego, then retire in a nice spacious villa.

We spent every day in the pool! This was perfect for our group of 19. Arcade games and the pool/pingpong tables were very popular, and we completed several puzzles on the dining table. Plenty of room for spreading out or gathering as a group. Picked up Tip Top Meats prime rib dinners dinners the first night, took sand castle building lesson with EJ, and Chef Alonzo came in and cooked a marvelous Italian dinner our last night. Very private feeling and wonderful views. Fed the horses treats and observed humming birds, bunnies, lizards, frogs and a snake! So cool. Bob, his son Dylan and Roy, the daily main man, were very responsive to any requests we had for assistance.

Fantastic property and owners. Beautiful spacious estate overlooking the hills with a wonderful pool and hot tub. Plenty of room for our guests. Owners Bob and Dylan were prompt, polite, and always accommodating. Nearby horses were a big plus! There’s a small town just a few minutes drive with grocery store, a Starbucks, and a few restaurants. This was a superb getaway for my old medical school friends and I, and we recommend you get in touch with Bob and book this place right away!
